Automatic Transfer Switch

A manual transfer switch requires you to physically flip a switch to transfer the load from the main power source to the backup generator. In contrast, an automatic transfer switch detects power loss and automatically makes the switch without any user intervention, providing a more convenient and reliable solution for power continuity.

An ATS is compatible with most types of standby generators, but it’s important to ensure that the switch and the generator are properly matched in terms of voltage, phase, and capacity. Some ATS systems are designed specifically for use with certain generator brands or models, so be sure to check compatibility before purchasing.

The size of the ATS depends on the total electrical load you want to support during a power outage. You’ll need to calculate the total wattage of all the equipment or appliances you want to run simultaneously. We recommend consulting an electrician or a qualified professional to determine the correct ATS size based on your specific needs.

If you have a backup generator and want uninterrupted power for essential appliances like refrigerators, HVAC systems, or medical equipment, then an Automatic Transfer Switch is highly recommended. It ensures that your home automatically switches to backup power during an outage, without the need for manual intervention.

• Automatic Operation: No need to manually switch between power sources during an outage or restoration.
• Safety: Prevents electrical hazards by ensuring a safe transition between power sources.
• Reliability: Provides continuous power to critical systems during outages.
• Convenience: Automatically starts and stops the generator, reducing the need for human intervention.
